Admin Services/Aluminum License Plates Hauling and Recycling

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is requesting applications for collection, hauling, and recycling of aluminum license plates from 76 Customer Service Centers and 68 Select Office locations statewide, with applications due October 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. Award is set-aside for DSBSD-certified micro businesses and small businesses.

The contractor must collect aluminum plates monthly from each Customer Service Center and bimonthly from Select Office locations, then transport and recycle them at a licensed facility. Minimum monthly capacity is 30,000 pounds of aluminum. The contractor must provide equipment including liftgates and hand trucks and maintain compliance with all federal and state hauling regulations.

The contract period runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, with five optional one-year renewal periods. There is no fixed contract value; instead, the contractor proposes a percentage of total scrap yard revenue to be returned to DMV monthly, with payments due by the 15th of each month accompanied by detailed reporting and recycling facility receipts documenting weight, rate, and payment received.

Bidders must provide proof of State Corporation Commission authorization to conduct business in Virginia, proof of appropriate insurance coverage including workers' compensation and $1,000,000 combined single limit automobile liability, and at least four references for similar services. Questions are due October 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, directed to LaToya Green at latoya.green@dmv.virginia.gov. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder provided the price is deemed fair and reasonable. The Commonwealth reserves the right to cancel without penalty upon 60 days' written notice and to negotiate with the lowest responsive bidder should the bid exceed available funds.
